ABOUT HEALTH FUNDAMENTALS
At Health Fundamentals we believe that getting healthy and staying healthy doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, it's actually kind of easy once you understand 5 key principles we call "The 5 Fundamentals of Health". They are:
#1. Health Comes From the Inside
Our bodies are AMAZING! They were designed to be in a state of health and to be self-healing and self-regulating. Refuse to believe the lies that "you're just getting old" or that you have to rely on an outside-in approach to maintain health. Your body knows exactly what to do to heal itself. Sometimes we just need to provide it with a little help.
#2. Simplicity and Consistency
Leonardo Divinci once said that "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". We believe that is true. Rather than relying on extremes, fads and short-cuts, rely on the power of consistent disciplined focus. We dramatically over-estimate what we can do in a month but we dramatically underestimate what we can do in a year.
#3. Proper Mechanical & Chemical Function
Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine once said "Look well to the spine for the cause of disease". The master control system of our body is the nervous system, this is where EVERYTHING begins. Our brain communicates with our body through our spine. Misalignments or "subluxations" in the spine can create disruptions in this communication. Chiropractic care helps to correct these.
#4. Being Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually In-Tune
The vast majority of health problems today stem from one common problem: mental mismanagement. Whether we're struggling with obesity, depression, anxiety, chronic illness, stress or other health problems. Learning to better cope with and manage the daily stress we encounter will have a massive impact for good on our overall health.
#5. Fueling Ourselves Properly
Food is fuel. We have to shift our paradigm from one of merely feeding to fueling for success. How do you want to perform in life? The most successful people fuel for optimal performance rather than simply feeding for pleasure. How will you choose to fuel yourself?
